Caius was late to arrive at the assembly hall for the meeting, and this was a deliberate act—his reasoning being that he wanted to give the Lords time to bicker among themselves, as that would reduce the bickering when he arrived.
Prince Rylen had tried to convince him that this wasn't such a good idea and that the faster they could get to the meeting, the faster they could discuss the issues. Caius didn't believe that. He was willing to do whatever he could to see the Lords less.
"Your Highness," echoed through the space as Caius walked in with Rylen behind him. His eyes scanned the lords in attendance.
Caius didn't say anything, nor did he acknowledge their greetings as he walked to his seat. He sat down, sitting leisurely as he stared at the Lords. Even though he was the one seated, it felt to them as though he was staring down at them.
